ENVISION

Want to make a statement without saying a word, then let this early vintage Enid Collins bag do ALL the talking. So, what does your bag say about provenance? Let's listen. An entrepreneurial ingenue, Enid began creating these illustrious, portable pieces of studio folk art back in the late 1950s as a means of employing her artistic skills and generating income, remaining company owner, operator, and designer until selling operations in Medina, Texas to Tandy in the early 1970s. (Talk about leaving an indelible mark on kitschy, creative designs of a decade.)

Now, let's hear from Ms. Collins in her own words taken from an original hang tag:

A Collins of Texas Original for you who have a flair for the truly distinctive!
Tops in Totes!
This is an Original silkscreen Design by Enid Collins.
Hand-painted on finest fabric…
Lavishly jeweled by hand…
Trimmed in Top-grain cowhide…
Carry it with Pride!

Don’t miss out on this fun, flirty, and fabulous bag from the early 1960s (note: hand painted ec on side of tote). This self-titled 'Money Tree' tote is a gem and a stunner. Glitz with a touch of whimsical glam for the uniquely stylish.
